In Language Arts our genre was drama. We read a story about an ant and found out different things about being an ant along the way. We talked about the different parts of a drama and how a group of people work together to read it. We also discussed how you could pull facts from the drama.
In our guided reading groups we focused on informative text. We read different leveled books and were asked to pull facts from those as well. We also had a comprehension quiz and were assessed on fluency.
We did a few activities with imperative and exclamatory sentences. (A review was sent home. This was simply to have information about what is going on in the class.)
In Writing we started writing plays using animals. We are using the writing process on our own this week and final pieces should be completed by next Friday.
In Math: We continued to learn about number patterns. We learned about skip counting, repeated addition, and how arrays can help us with repeated addition and multiplication. Next week we will finish this unit. Our chapter test will be on Friday.
In Social Studies: we continued with our geography unit. We learned about the continents and oceans through various activities and will be quizzed on our knowledge on Tuesday the 11th. A study guide was sent home earlier this week.
